Born and Raised (Reprise)

John Mayer - Born and Raised (Reprise)

Artist: John Mayer

Album: Born and Raised

Now and then
I pace my place
I can’t retrace how I got here

I cheat and lie
to check my fates
it’s slightly harder than last year

and all at once
it gets hard to take
it gets hard to fake what I won’t be
cause one of these days
I’ll be born and raised
and it’s such a waste to grow up lonely

I still have dreams
and I’m the same
they don’t fly as high as they used to

I saw my friend
he’s in my head
and he said, “you don’t remember me do you?”

and all at once
it gets hard to take
it gets hard to fake what I won’t be
cause one of these days
I’ll be born and raised
and it’s such a waste to grow up lonely

I still got time
I still got faith
I call on both of my brothers
I got a Mom
I got a Dad
but they do not have each other

so ride on up, and take your place
show your face to the morning
'cause one of these days you'll be born and raised
and it comes on without warning
